Unfortunately many Africans don’t feel anything about the transatlantic slave trade or the trans Saharan one either. The reason being, too many of us don’t know much about it due to a faulty education systems, ignorance and poverty. Also, the collective memory of the events are not as present for Africans on the continent because it affected us differently to the way it impacted on those that survived transportation to the Americas and their descendants. I think the majority of continental Africans did not grow up hearing about slavery in the same way as African Americans and African Caribbean's did and the stories that were told to us about our traditions and long ago ancestors were not linked to the history of slavery although many of the tales are obviously echoes of those dark days. For example, the Yoruba family on my mum’s side remembers a direct ancestor who was always thought of as favored by God (or the Gods), because after returning from a war campaign to his home village, he was the only warrior to find his family intact; the other villagers had all disappeared. Other stories are told on my dad’s side too but no one ever made the connections.
